If that's the case, does he know that all of his private worries are being translated twice only to be immediately posted on a public forum?

I recall that ML32 once wrote that Les knows that John L is a ML fan himself and has a friend who regularly posts on a ML forum. She sat in on some of their calls on speaker phone before.
But that doesn't mean that John L. knows that this person is posting everything that is said or that Les would approve of having this gossip out there. And not to put too fine a point on it, but how do you even know that this poster is legit? It would seem to me that after the "she who shall not be named" fiasco of bogus anonymous sources that people would be a bit more leery of people saying that they have supposed inside info.
Yeah, I was suspicious of this whole "insider source" myself. Last fall, when we were waiting on news about the fate of Alex/Simon's pilots, she posted some tidbits of conversations that I and several others didn't take seriously. Then she wrote one post that had my head spin

that CBS didn't approve any of Alex's pilots. She wrote it weeks before any of the news came out. I started exchanging PMs with her, when she started spilling a lot more info offline than on the public forum. I then forwarded some of the PMs to a couple of other posters, one of whom checked in with her Aussie source. I kept hoping this poster was making things up and she was completely wrong...
Anyway, the latest word is that TR is CBS's top favorite among the medical pilots. The question is whether CBS wants to see if NBC's medical shows will sink or swim before introducing theirs during mid-season, or go head to head.
